Licence Request

pauldurrant opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

This looks like just the library code I need for my current project. But I can't use it under GPL2 for the project I'm working on, as my project is for a proprietary product and I can't release its source code. Would you be willing to license your dnslib under a different licence, say the Simplified BSD licence?

Hi, no problem. I'm open to any licence. But to tell the true, I'm not sure what exactly should I do to switch to Simplified BCD licence. If you tell me, I'll switch it.

Many thanks. I have just looked at the licenses again, and it looks like the NCSA is the most modern version of the BSD license. See

Done. Enjoy my code. And feel free to push some changes. I don't use it anymore since I changed company and I'm out of telco business, where I used it for performance testing. But one never knows ....

Dear Michal, I can’t push changes at the moment, but I found one place that seemed to be missing a small amount of code. In qs.h, lines 99,102 and 105 are missing the body of the functions. They should be std::string getName() const { return mQName; }; uint getType() const { return mQType; }; eQClass getClass() const { return mQClass; }; (bold shows the additions) Many thanks again for letting me use your code.

Hi. Thanks for info. Unfortunately, I'm not able to change anything by myself, since I'll not be able to run all tests even if it looks like code without impact on performance or memory allocation issues (I had lot of memory leaks).
